Deuteronomy 32:25-27

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁶ ‘I would have said: I will cut them to pieces^[a]
and blot out the memory of them from mankind,^(B)
27 if I had not feared provocation from the enemy,
or feared that these foes might misunderstand
and say, “Our own hand has prevailed;
it wasn’t the Lord who did all this.” ’
